Here\u2019s the eighth video of Steve\u2019s Truck Week series! This time it\u2019s a Ram 3500 Dually. Watch and if you missed the previous videos use the link below.<\/p>\n
Our friend Steve Magnante has been out of commission for a few months as he\u2019s literally been fighting for his life from a bad brain infection, but he\u2019s back! You may know Steve from all his years in the magazine world where he wrote for a ton of great magazines like Hot Rod and Car Craft, but in recent years he\u2019s been the rain man of muscle car and classics knowledge on Barrett-Jackson\u2019s TV auction shows. He\u2019s also been making great YouTube content of his own, walking through junkyards full of great finds and sharing all the info on cool old rides. But for the past several months we weren\u2019t sure he was going to make it.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, he had great doctors who didn\u2019t give up on him even after putting him into a coma to try and fight this brain infection. To be honest, there were lots of folks who have known him for years who were not sure he\u2019d pull through. I\u2019m so thrilled to say that he is in fact on the mend and working at getting back to his normal self. He\u2019s still in the hospital, but has some new content out and we\u2019re going to share it with you right here, along with a message from Steve himself in the hospital.<\/p>\n
I first met Steve more than 20 years ago on Hot Rod Power Tour and was lucky enough to work with him a few times over the years. He\u2019s a real treasure, one hell of a guy, and I can\u2019t tell you how happy it makes me to be sharing these videos with you now.<\/p>\n

That all changed in 1989. Steve reveals what made Dodge trucks so potent in this Junkyard Crawl.<\/em><\/p>\n
